As you're searching for resources, if you can't find access to the full text of an article, if you hit a paywall (where you're asked to pay $40 to download the PDF of the article) or if Forsyth Library doesn't have access to a specific article or resource you've found in a citation list, you'll want to use Interlibrary Loan.
After doing background research on your topic and diving into the protein and genetic information, you already may have come across some references to the scholarly literature. These are often primary literature articles (original research) that further the knowledge about your topic.
Try searching for meta-analysis or systematic review of certain treatments of the medical condition by adding those terms to your search query (ex. your topic/medical condition AND meta-analysis OR systematic review AND treatment OR intervention OR therapy)
Full-text subset of PubMed. PMC contains more than 6 million full-text records, spanning several centuries of biomedical and life science research (late 1700s to present). Content is added to the archive through journal and publisher program deposit, author manuscript deposit, and digitization projects.
You'll want to fill in the gaps of your project by making sure that you discuss the history, symptoms, treatments, and ethical issues. This may mean you're looking in new databases and combining specific keywords to make sure you're finding relevant information.
If you find citations or references to primary literature from the resources like RCSB and OMIM and you can't get to the full text from the references list, check the Forsyth Library Catalog by using the search everything tool.

Review your assignment again, what aspects of your disease have you not covered yet with your research? What type of source would best provide you with that information and revisit that step. What keywords can you add to your search query to make sure you find a source that answers that aspect of your medical condition?
